Why You Shouldn’t Trust Yourself Too Much

Self-trust is everything. Because if you do not trust yourself, nothing will work.

Life happens when we trust ourselves.

Growth happens when we trust other people. And

Mistakes happen when we trust ourselves too much.

Self-trust is self-belief. When you trust yourself, you know who you are. You know what you can do. And you know what you cannot do.

When you trust yourself, you don’t pretend to be who you are not. You are just you. You know what is right, and you know also what is wrong.

You trust yourself when you believe in yourself, when you believe in your thoughts, when you believe in your decisions, when you believe in your dreams, and when you believe in your friends.

But is that all? No, there is more. We make mistakes when we trust ourselves too much. We trust ourselves too much when we don’t consider other people’s thoughts, their feelings, their actions. We trust ourselves too much when we make decisions without talking to people who have done what we are about to do.

As a being, you can trust yourself. But do not forget that you don’t know everything. If you want to see what is going on around you, you must bring other people to the table. Because no one is smart enough to know everythting. If you know everything, you trust yourself too much. It is dangerous. It is not healthy.

Do not trust yourself too much. You need other people. If you want to do something really big, don’t go it alone. Do not ignore other people. Talk to people who can help. Because we are better when do things together. We are smarter when we think together. I am not talking about group think. That is a whole new thing. I am not going there right now.

We are stronger when we learn from other people, when we make room for mistakes, when we face our demons. We are smarter when we are willing to receive what the world has for us.

We are better together than alone. We can do more when we trust other people, when we learn from other, and when we step out of our comfort zones.

Remember, self-trust is everything. Because if you do not trust yourself, no one will trust you. If you trust yourself too much, no one will follow you.

So if you want people to trust you, you must first trust yourself. And you must NOT trust yourself too much.

The Benefits Of Thinking Differently

When you think differently, you will see things differently. When you think differently, you will do things differently. When you think differently, you will behave differently. When you think differently, you will work differently. And when you think differently, you will live your life differently.

And people will say, ‘you are different.’ It is good to be different than it is to be the same. The same is just the same. You will get what you put into it. If you want to be different, you must learn to think differently.

It is hard, but it is possible. You can do it. You don’t have to be like other people. You don’t have to copy what other people are doing. You can learn from them, but do not copy from them.

Because when you copy from other people, you are not learning. You are just trying be like other people. You are just trying to be who you are not. You are just trying to think like other people. It is not possible. It won’t help you. So don’t waste your time.

To get what you want, you must think differently. You must see things differently. Do not be afraid to question things, especially things that you don’t know.

Thinking differently is not about totally ignoring what others have done in the past. It is not ignoring what you have done in the past. It is learning from what works. It is letting go of what is not working.

As a being, you are thinking differently when you have the courage to question your own thoughts, your own assumptions, when you dare to live your life on your own terms.

You are thinking differently when you have the courage to see the world differently, when you don’t judge people before you meet them.

You are thinking differently when you know that there is more out there than what you already know.

You are thinking differently when you are willing to be tested, to be vulnerable, when you are willing to explore the unknown. That is thinking differently.

So if you are tired of getting the same results, why not consider ‘thinking differently?’
